Warning

After studying the following posts, I'd be left with possibly Sarah, Bridget or Mary, depending on context though since I don't know how a human (student or not) would find Tamamo. Hiro not really counting since he's a student of the same year as her. Bridget is a teacher so yeah and Mary, well... Unless Tamamo does something illegal which is not likely to happen, I don't know exactly. I also don't know how far Students can make it to so if Sarah is in the city, my fox would have to leave the academy temporarily? If she's in the academy then everything would be easy anyway so that depends on your side of things and what would best.

Yes yes, very true. We should be able to develop with different characters so we get all the perspectives of good stuff. But yes, it was pretty fun and boy was it a long stretch. I had a bit of troubles but after a while, I manage to get things in order or about. For now, Tamamo is officially free to roleplay with for anyone else who needs someone to roleplay something with them.

Tamamo simply nodded to what he said at first, glad there can be a next time but the end of it gave her this disappointed look with ears down. It was not even against Hiro or anything but rather that while she recognized the symbol on her door, she wasn't sure how to actually name it by word. After a couple of seconds, she got a pensive expression then like a lightbulb lit in her head, she came back closer to him. "I don't know how it's named but I can show you.", she said before trying to describe or mimic the number with her fingers to him, repeating a few times so he sees it well. "This, is where I stay. You can come see me if you like but not yet... I'll be sleeping. When I'm awake, you can show me.". Then she stepped back, ready to leave. She didn't really notice anything that Hiro seemed to feel and even then, she hardly understood those things despite her past experience with a human. Most likely, she wasn't feeling the same as he did either. She had met with him only recently and while he even bathed her or at least helped, to Tamamo, it was pretty much something normal to do. When finally told to take care, she gave him a nod. "I won't get in troubles, I think... I will be careful." And with this, she left his room so he could rest as well, considering how tired he looked like himself anyway. Once outside, back to being alone, she started feeling like she usually does. Back to her old habit except she was now clean and smelled good, combined with her washed clothes. All she had to do now is return to her room and so she did. Once there, alone and safe, she headed straight to her bed and removed her kimono but kept everything else so she was merely topless for the night, mostly to be comfortable. The bed she climbed on felt really nice too after such a day. It didn't take too long before Tamamo finally finds her position to sleep and close her eyed, taken away to dreamland barely minutes later until hours come to pass. [Continue?]

Tamamo relaxed from the pats this time, not pouting at the least. Sitting near him, she just kept an eye on the tv. With him encouraging her, she even put on a smile. "You're already helping by teaching me. And I will learn more by being here.", she said nodding to herself. When it came to the remote, she listened and watched carefully. It would take a while for her to figure out but she would soon realize it was more simple than it seemed at first. The button that scared her earlier was to make the tv louder and its opposite to make it quieter. It finally made sense. There wasn't any threat to it after all and watching this device was entertaining. Tamamo came to learn a bit of how many animal kinds existed. Humans, animals, monsters... There was a lot more to this world than it looked from within her forest. When Hiro finally yawned, the contagious feeling got her to give a yawn too. And so she blinked and realized that even she felt the need to nap right now. She had gotten a bath, walked all over the academy, learned so many things and it was only the start but for now, a small nap would not hurt. At least this is what she had in mind. "We're both tired again... Maybe I should head back to my bed and sleep. I don't think I can take this much longer..." Slowly, the fox girl stretched out and stood up. "But now I know how to use the magic box. I don't know how to use that um... what you said before. What I left in my room. Maybe you can teach me later." She asked, thinking it wasn't the moment right now. A bed was much more tempting than anything else and there was always the next day to learn whatever more.

Tamamo had a certain attitude but it calmed down when he spoke to her again, as he seemed willing to show her how it was being used. The patting made her keep her pouting face for a bit longer but it was clear she enjoyed it. When presented with the buttons, she looked at the remote with him and tried to learn what she was shown. With the button press, the tv reacted to his command and changed. Like this, it looked easier than she thought. When the forest came back again, her curiosity was triggered again. The wolves looked like nice creatures but she never had the luck to meet with any before. They weren't exactly close to her home. As she thought, she couldn't see much else surprising, the sight of fox suddenly made her react with her ears poking up and her tails also moving at once while her eyes became sharp and staring. It took her a moment before she pointed at the screen. "The foxes! Why are the foxes there?", she exclaimed as she stared for a while longer until she seemed to realize something. "W-wait, they are not the same foxes... Oh..." Tamamo moved closer to the screen, looking at them. It took another moment before she really relaxes her body and just enjoy the sight for a good while. Finally, she turned to Hiro with a determined expression, her fists closed in front of her chest. "One day, I will be ruling over them. I have to work hard to learn everything first, though." The fox girl took a look back to the tv before she return to him, ready to learn more if at least Hiro had more to teach her about this tv and its remote buttons or else.

Tamamo would hear the sounds but her attention would be taken by the tv for now. It wasn't much that the news was so interesting to her but more that anyway, it's all she could watch and she was seeing many different things at once in this rectangle box. She was quiet enough that even her tails didn't really move. Her attention was only really taken away a bit when Hiro came to sit near her, where she looked at him some. Him sounding like he was mocking her only managed to make her pout in denial. "That's not true... Whatever they are talking about, it's because of your magic wand. It wouldn't obey me...", she said as she got up, looking upset. Tamamo went to the remote and tried to use it the same way she did before but all she manages to do this time was turn on the volume, which scared her being so close to the tv at that time. "T-this thing doesn't like me. It does not obey me and it took away the forest and the animals." She turned around to Hiro, seeming a bit furious. "How do you humans deal with that? There's so many things inside and it just does as it pleases..." Tamamo finally gave up, looking depressed and going to sit near Hiro again, dropping the remote nearby that she didn't want to look at anymore. Only thing she did for now what pouting about it.

With the explanation given, Tamamo calmed down but still couldn't help being curious about the TV but when she finally give up to watch it instead, she had tried to mess with the remote a little unsuccessfully. At least now she knew that humans had a way to record things around and project it, whatever it meant. It was good to know even though she didn't understand it yet. For now, she was looking at what she was seeing, oddly sitting comfortable on the bed while her tails rested down on the bed and against each others. She wasn't even paying attention anymore to what Hiro was doing on his side. The news showed text news that she couldn't read anyway so all she could do was watch the human and whatever report they had. At this moment, she was seeing a little how big the human world really was. Of course what she saw paled in comparison to what the real thing was but the few places she saw were places she never saw before. Whenever a human spoke, either to report the news or when they were interviewed about something, Tamamo was able to listen. She didn't understand everything nor every words but the ones she understood gave her good idea of what she watched. The fox however didn't really understand the meaning of such words as she had no idea how politics or human cultures and stuff worked. Still, right now, she looked like a calm fox girl watching and being absorbed by the TV, sitting comfortable on the bed and being quiet for a good while.

Tamamo nodded to confirm the statement said by Hiro. It was best anyway that she doesn't go in the bathroom at all in her clean state. However, it meant that she wasn't sure of what to do while she would wait in the room so for now she only watched him until he finally proposed the idea to lay down on the bed. This seemed like a good idea but then Hiro stopped talking and headed to pick something to turn on one strange object in the room. Tamamo's eyes suddenly widened as she approached slowly and cautiously. She saw the nature alright but it moved inside that thing. It made the fox stare at it like it was some kind of alien thing, turning around it but not coming too close just in case. She slowly looked behind it but she saw nothing. "H-how did you seal these animals inside and that voice, why is there a human inside? Or... This is a gate, isn't it?". She could hear the sound well with her ears and she really looked confused by the thing. Her eyes looked toward Hiro and if he left her to guess on her own, she would just focus on the tv itself, moving closer and finally try to touch it, only to be stopped by the screen. She slid her fingers against it but there was no opening. Stepping back, she watched what it was showing: A world similar to hers but different, explained by the voice talking. Her attention was absorbed by the tv for a bit until she looked at the remote and moved closer to pick it. Looking at it, it was easy to figure she understood nothing of it and the very rare words she knew how to read were not on this remote. With hesitation, Tamamo tried and touch one only to make the tv channel change, what surprised her. Even if she tried to press another button to find the channel again, all she could do was change to another new channel. Her ears lowered as she knew right away that it would be a lost cause. Preferring not to destroy anything in case the remote could do that, she put it back down near the tv and stepped back to the bed to sit down, watching curiously whatever was airing on that channel for the moment.

Tamamo just didn't move when she was getting pat, if not pout a little as she enjoyed it but didn't really want to admit it. What probably any monster girl would do anyway. It made her hesitate to leave but not because of any possible closeness or chance of more pats but because she had no real other ideas right now anyway. Buuut there was still a chance, even if ever so slight, of more pats. "W-well, I can stay a little longer if this is what you really want.", she said, pretending like she wasn't held by anything. The praise probably wasn't helping making her leave. The thought about cell phones got her to think she might need that too, at least if it was true everyone had one. While she thought about that, there was then this message of worry for her even thought they didn't really know each others. Tamamo wasn't ready to just call it over though. "...I will stay but I'm not helping you get clean. Humans can do that on their own. And I'm not getting wet again now that I feel so nice after my bath... My clothes feel good too so I'm not removing them yet.", she spoke like if it was a kind of requirement to stay, perhaps in case she followed him to the bathroom again. Still, with what she said, she looked at him wondering what he would say about it, in his case.

Hellhound had raised an eyebrow with all the explanations, obviously not looking like she understood all that but at least, she wouldn't try to taste anything not ready to be tasted. She would have to use her other senses, which she thankfully could do with the help of the teacher's example he passed around. Once Bella also saw it, if she wanted to look at it, she moved it to another person then considered what was said so far. She had to make something that looked like what she just had seen but she wouldn't do it without help. Before her was the other ingredients for the preparation: flour, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, etc. If she didn't know how to use them yet, she still could grab one thing she knew and so took a spoon that was there for them then looked at the countess. "We will do it...! But um... What does the book say about those? I will help as best as I can. At least I think I can do that...", she said with a confident or at least trying smile to motivate herself, even if she wasn't fully sure to do it correctly. If steps consisted only of filling her spoon with some powder then she would be ready to do that. The eggs were another story since she never cracked any before.

Hellhound also looked at the teacher and Bella from one to the other as they explained their point and the both of them got her thinking. Eyeing upward, she looked like she was thinking real hard about the question. First, about what Maxwell said, she thought about the whole 'start with and might need more' explanation however the scientific speak of it only confused her more than necessary. Having never cooked her own food, she had no idea how to observe changes of states when it came to adding ingredients. The beast girl certainly would have some questions to ask but Bella took over by asking about variables while Hellhound just seemed lost on her side, an expression of pure ignorance on her face as she stared at Bella first then Maxwell again. While ingredients being unpredictable was common in any synthesis, she didn't have any experience in any of them. The comment about mortals made her look specifically at Maxwell but then an idea, albeit probably a stupid one, came to her as she smiled wide to Bella. "Maybe we have to taste it! Then we'll know if it's good or not.", she said proudly, thinking for a moment that she was a genius even if tasting an incomplete recipe maybe wasn't for the best. Her eyes looked back to Maxwell as well, wondering if she was on the right path.

Tamamo pondered about the question of being used to it or not. Whether her thigh highs actually protected her from threats or not, she could still fit something on her feet if she wanted. Something that could match with the kimono she is wearing, even though she did not know exactly what that would be. When she was given those clothes, no actual footwear came with them beyond the actual thigh highs socks. Besides, the foxgirl felt better with her toes against the ground, to feel what she was walking on. She never experienced different weathers however so who knows if she would be safe against snow; another thing she knew nothing about. At the same time, she was not alone to walk with little protection considering other barefoot or almost creatures. Tamamo was one who enjoyed comfort so she felt good with those on. Her thoughts were interrupted when Hiro finally mentioned taking a bath and a nap, what made her smile. "You should, it would make you feel better. You look tired...", she commented, stepping closer. "I would take a nap too but the bath already made me feel better. Maybe I can take a look around on my own, now. I don't think you need help for bathing...", she said with a smirk, mostly teasing but also because humans looked easy to clean anyway. "Thank you for helping me. Should I leave, now...?" Tamamo stood there, waiting probably that she is allowed to leave before she does, in case he also had anything else to tell her.

Tamamo thought about his words but human morality didn't mean much to her. Her tails behind her on the beds moved a little, all soft now without a single speck of dust or stains. She was sitting casually and even if she would notice a hint of him looking down, she wasn't turned or anything to tease him to look but more trying to simply relax, bare after a good bath. The nice words felt good to hear and at least she knew she didn't have to feel too bad about spending a long time just for HER bath. She wouldn't do that too often, considering the amount of work it was on whoever would help her, when she wouldn't wash by herself. Tamamo was used to clean herself but she also never really went through a big soap, rinse and dry process. The result however was worth it. "I had to come here if I want to be a fitting deity so I must learn to be strong... It's not bad but there is a lot to know about. I just arrived too so there will be more... I will do my best, I'm already learning.", she smiled as she spoke, knowing it was a huge part of responsibility to come at the academy but she didn't have any choices. Plus, it was rather fun so far. When he looked at her legs and feet and started talking about them, she also looked at her legs and moved them around playfully until she brought one of her leg up to place her foot near her other leg's inner thigh. "You should not worry... Sometimes I walk without any protection in the forest. I don't get hurt easily..." Tamamo grabbed her thighhighs from her small amount of clothes and looked at them. "They protect my legs. As long as I have them, I will be safe...", and with this said, she started slipping her foot inside her thigh then did the same with her other one until she finally stood and looked back to him and what he wore for protection. "I don't think I would like wearing this. They fit humans better." She finally put on the her dress and then put her arms in their respective sleeves, working on a process to also fit her tails in the holes made for them. Once she was done, she did the final adjustments then started tying her ribbon in her hair, exactly where it should always be. At the end, everything was fitting onto her perfect, like she was the first time. With a smile, Tamamo stood there in front of him, all clean, all dry, all beautiful. Worthy of being the next kyuubi deity even though she still had much to learn before it would happen. Her adventure in the academy was only beginning.

Tamamo understood so far but when he turned back and instantly turned again, she tilted her head into yet more confusion. She eyed down to her breasts then back up to him. She guessed that there was nothing else that could have make him react like this and it put a smile to her face. "They look good, don't they...? Or did you look at something else? You must not be so used to see monsters like this.", she guessed even though she was wrong but she also guessed that that he must have liked the sight at least a little. She enjoyed her own body anyway and wasn't the kind to be bothered with the size of her own breasts, which felt natural to her. Also considering her age, being right now a teenager pretty much. She shrugged for now and watched Hiro do his bizarre stepping to get to her, which only felt more and more awkward. At least he was getting back to her tail so she stood there for now, finally enjoying some more good time, free of the towel too. Tamamo took this time to stretch nicely, letting her bare body get the whole pleasure of being free to the air. While she was doing it, she managed to leave her tails limp for him to do with as he pleased but she still felt any of his touch or even the heat of the dryer on them. When the signal was given, she moved free for once and let her tails sway dry and feeling nice, turning around in circle for a bit and smiling. "Yes, it's all nice now... My skin feels all soft and smells good." With this, she took some of her tails and gave them a sniff, only to show a bright smile. "My tails have a good smell, too!", she said before looking at her kimono when mentioned. However, watching him, Tamamo went to sit near near, gently grabbing her kimono in her grasp but leaving it on her laps while she relaxed. Hesitating for one minute, she looked away, body completely vulnerable to look at except for where she wears her panties. Her ears on her head moved down some. "I made you do all these things for me and I can't thank you. It took a long time, too. Normally, I leave my body to dry on its own...", the fox turned to look at him even if he didn't look at her. "But I liked it. I learned new things too... Sooo, umm... Thank you.", she finally said, trying to sound like she appreciated the whole experience. Otherwise, she didn't seem like she wanted to dress right yet but she still kept her clothes close on her laps, relaxing on the bed.

Tamamo observed him after he was done with her hair, now feeling so much better than before. As she looked back to him, still not yet moving, she raised an eyebrow with how weird he was being with her. What was he even doing? By him raising the towel to her butt, there was a big chance her said butt was noticeable even if what was behind the tails themselves was pretty hidden. Thankfully, the mass of tails hid between her legs and Tamamo wasn't sure if she should do anything or not to help him. Before she could think about anything, he had turned off the hair dryer, finally giving her ears a break. When Hiro moved, the fox turned slowly to watch where he was going only to grab her panties. The suggestion and comment sounded pretty odd but it made her smile. "By there, you mean between my legs... It dries off easily when when I walk around the forest after a bath but I think it's fine, now. If you want to see me with them on then okay... I don't know why now, though. You're not done with my tails yet.", she said as she grabbed her panties and looked at him turning around. Maybe he was shy and didn't feel comfortable with seeing her... girlhood. Tamamo shrugged and removed the towel and let it drop down to the floor then slip her panties on one leg after another. They fitted against her bottom and below her tail base comfortably, just like she knew them. To get back in shape of her finally having nothing on but panties anymore, she stretched free then faced him. "I'm done, you can come back and finish what you started.", she said, proud just stand there basically naked. If he would look at her chest anyhow, he'd notice the she has rather small breasts that she didn't even bother trying to hide; A cup or about, perfectly shaped without any real flaw to them. Her eyes however didn't seek any reaction, she was just waiting.

Tamamo looked at Hiro but didn't move. For now, she didn't have a reason to do so and even when she saw the gun like device, if that's what it was, she did not really react. She probably never saw any such weapon before, which would be a good thing. To her, it was only another device made by humans with a specific purpose she wasn't aware of yet. Hiro did mention something about drying just before, though. Learning that it was a hair dryer and it blew air but only after plugging it made the fox blink. Her confused face started being something common to witness but after all, she was going to find lot of new things she never knew about before in this academy. As Hiro came closer, Tamamo only watched and waited quietly, keeping an eye on the device. She was curious but unsure until she was told it was completely safe and still, she couldn't help but look anyway. The interesting moment about it was when he started it and the noise and sudden air flow made her jump with wide eyes for a few seconds. Clearly, she wasn't expecting that to happen but she was not scared of it, only surprised. Even then, she didn't need to say anything as her expression spoke for her. Still, she waited for what would happen next and when the air was pointed toward her, she closed her eyes instinctively. During that moment, Tamamo didn't see what he was doing but she felt her ears being moved and her hair being dried. Her body calmly relaxed but she stood firm on her feet. It was oddly enjoyable, like a strong gust of wind she like felt them in the forest except this one was much warmer. "It's not too hot, it's fine...! It's noisy, though.", she said a little louder to counter the noise of the dryer, wanting to look but instead stayed still, enjoying the princess treatment of some sort she was getting. She wasn't moving at all but did open her eyes when she felt the air in her back or about, presuming it was safe. Her tails under the towel remained very calm, having no reactions of any kind while she was waiting that Hiro would be done. Tamamo was very patient however and would wait for as long as it was needed. That towel felt comfortable but the idea of removing it was also very tempting.

Tamamo looked rather glad when she finally saw him open the door to enter the room while she was merely standing there, not showing much thanks to her tails but still very naked. Normally, she would be fine to dry to the warm hair of her forest when out of the spring but right now, this wasn't as easy. Watching him try to apologize to her only brought a bit of confusion because she didn't feel like he was to blame for anything. If anything, she blamed the place and situation in general, not knowing that a towel was a thing to dry the body. For now, she watched all the way to the towel wrapping that she let happen. This is then that Tamamo finally felt enough comfort that her tails slipped away from her anyway hidden body to let her skin be dried. She would even move her tail down and away for him to have more space even if all the mass of tails dripped wet on the floor currently. Just standing there naked felt to be dried from the towel felt strange even to her but she enjoyed it enough that she didn't say anything at all. If she wasn't blinded by the towel, she would be keeping an eye on him but not entirely cautiously, rather only curious about what he was doing that currently made her feel better. After a moment, he apologized to her again but she still didn't feel like it was required for any reasons. "You don't have to say sorry... I didn't know about this big cloth but I feel better now.", she said, shivering less than before at least even though not completely dry for sure. Tamamo turned to look at her clothes then approached and they looked just like she knew them to be, except clean now. As she was thinking about dressing up, she turned back to Hiro who requested her not to do so yet. For a split second, she wondered if it was because he liked the sight of her like this, even if still possibly covered by the towel that hid her nakedness. However, he followed with the reason for his request which made her wonder. "Quickly...? How? Is it something good like the bath that creates a spring?", she asked, shining bright with her ignorance once more. Admittedly, she did enjoy to be naked in the forest but mostly because of the nature around her. Feeling the grass, the wind, everything. In the academy, there was a range of other feelings like this towel and the floor that felt like nothing she ever felt before with her feet. It probably wasn't the most appropriate, though.

Tamamo would simply relax while he explains and if anything, it reassured her a little. He sounded like he had respect for her clothes and that was enough to her to at least trust him for now. Among her clothes where her kimono and her thighhighs but while she has no bra, there was still some valuable panties that would hide her girlhood when she was sitting in ways one can see under her kimono. It also served as protection for obvious reasons as one girl shouldn't leave herself vulnerable there. Due to the nature of her washing where her hair needed to be washed, her head ribbon would also be among the lot of clothes. Her kimono made specially for a kitsune had a hole behind the back in order for tails to get through. When Hiro said he'd be back soon, Tamamo nodded quietly and remained on her own for now. The door opening and closing meant she was really by herself in this newly installed silence. In fact, the only sounds around were her own and the water that moved with any movement of her body. A silence that felt almost too quiet despite the faint activity noises outside the room. The foxgirl didn't know how long passed but being alone also welcomed some boredom in this water that was growing cooler. If she trusted the warning, she couldn't stay in there any longer than she had to and so, she used her feet against the bottom of the tub to push herself up and out the water but with it came an issue. The air while thankfully no wind in the room still felt cold on her wet body. There was no other choice, though. Carefully, she lifted a leg over the edge that she held tight and stepped out until she was successfully outside. Tamamo then let go and held herself instead. She didn't know how to fix this and Hiro was gone with the only clothes she'd wear. Now, this was a problem. Being shy wasn't really an issue to her, it would not be the first time she would be naked in front of a human or another monster but she also was not dumb so leaving the room was out of question. All she could do was wait and use her own tails, albeit drenched wet, to wrap around herself for heat while she waited. And this is how she'd be found waiting for him outside the bathroom, shivering and wet.

The petting made Tamamo relax more, whoever it would come from. She was in a position to be as relaxed as possible and better yet, he wouldn't see much even if she was a bit higher than usual. Her chest was hidden against the tub and only her back otherwise was visible or at least the top of it. For now, only the pat mattered. The following part only did well to make her worry, though. "I normally never stay very long but okay, I will get out when I feel that it's getting cold.", she said while taking a look at one of her hands that seemed fine if only slightly affected by the water. She may be more resistant than the usual human but she still shared some of their characteristics. Pouting a bit before she looked at her clothes again as well, when offered to wash them for her. No doubt that concern was visible on her face at this very moment. Usually, she always had washed them on her own. She probably was not worried that they get damaged as they were specially made but they were still not indestructible, if attempted to destroy on purpose by force. Tamamo never really separated herself from them ever before but still, she eyed him with some questions. "You will be careful with them, right...? These are the Kyuubi kimono clothes and they are very important to me. I can't leave anywhere without them.", she explained, begging for him to be careful with them. With what he did for her so far, she was willing to go as far as leaving them in his care even if she probably shouldn't with someone she just had met but Tamamo didn't really think he would do anything bad with them. Hopefully. For now, she turned around, sitting back in the bath to enjoy it some more.

Tamamo remained in her position for a while, simply observing the human who helped her clean up at least a part of her body. She didn't seem to be paying too much attention to details now so it would be hard to notice even a subtle change of expression or anything. Hiro looking to be accepting her request made her smile more than earlier. If she got closer to him in such an early time, the fox girl was also currently swimming in his bath tub or rather floating, still gripping the edge of the tub to lean against it. "Your first time...? It didn't look like it... Or maybe humans are better with monsters than I thought. I keep learning new things thanks to them. Even Noire never really bathed with me...", she said but quickly realized what she had let slip, by naming the person she once knew. For a moment, she mimicked the action some people did when they said something they should not; putting a hand against her lips. But then, she slowly relaxed, thinking it didn't matter all that much. "Hmph... Well, you helped me and I now feel better thanks to it.", finally saying, back to the topic at hand. Pausing there to relax some more while he could respond to what she said so far. When Hiro finally laid his schedule to her, Tamamo started thinking about any next bath times she could get but she was not very demanding. Normally, she would clean her body once a few couple of days but with this deluxe clean-up she just got, she thought she could last at least 3 days fine maybe. If not more... "I have to be honest, I did not think this through. I don't have anything in this academy that I can give you. I am glad you took the time to do it for me, though. So... Um... Thank you.". She wasn't one to thank others often but she knew what it meant and it would have been rude to not at least say it to someone who just made her feel nice for a good while. Her own eyes looked at her clothes as well and Tamamo herself felt like she'd have to deal with this issue before she thinks about putting them on but with that look toward her clothes, a question came to her mind before Hiro would give her any other topics. "Is it over soon, already?", she simply asked, looking like someone who wanted to stay in the tub a little longer.

Tamamo listened but continued to wash her body for now, slowly. She enjoyed the bubbles more than she was focused on the actual task and she didn't turn to Hiro again; she didn't need to since her ears told her all she needed to know about what was going on or at least she heard him approaching. Only when she felt him really close and then suddenly touch her head, she stopped washing for now and put her arms a little behind her to support herself, closing her eyes to let him do whatever was needed to clean her. What pushed her to close her eyes more was more the fact she didn't want any of that non-water stuff into them but the water itself didn't feel comfortable if it splashed against them either. Like this, she avoided to move except for her legs she playfully moved around the water, liking the movement of liquid against her skin. The shampoo itself felt strange but she trusted him, having no reasons right now to believe otherwise. When she heard the faucet, she kinda was already prepared for the water incoming right afterward; him holding her ears down was pretty much a good signal anyway. Tamamo waited a bit then started opening her eyes again and shook her head gently, at least getting some hair and water out of her face. "I think I could get used to this... It's not swimming but being washed feels good. Plus, my hair smells nice, now...", she commented as she looked back a bit, just in time to see one of her tail being taken care of. A shiver went through her body but she pretended to ignore it and look away to continue washing herself from where she last left it. Her tails meanwhile were left pretty relaxed with no real tightness in them. She might move them gently but otherwise nothing more. The amount of tails gave her enough time to wash and scrub every parts of her hidden body in its entirety or almost, finishing down with her feet. Afterwards, Tamamo looked toward Hiro who had moved after he was done. Moving her body, she grabbed the edge of the tub again and leaned her chest against it. "I would like someone to do this for me more often... This spring is not bad after all. If you were to become my body cleaner, I would find a way to reward you.", she smiled but not in any lewd ways. In fact, Tamamo didn't know how she'd reward him if he decided to do that. For her, it was more a playful wish and her way to say that she liked the experience. It was her first true bath with soap and in comparison to any other times before, she probably sparkled clean now all the way to the good scent of all parts of her body. They had been there for a while and it was close to the time to end it. The foxgirl had used her arms to lean against the edge of the bath, resting her head against them for now.

Tamamo simply looked completely helpless like this but at the same time, she must not have minded it all that much if she didn't even try to fix her hair yet. At the very least, she now understood why he did what he did the way he did it. Stupidly, she kept her hands still until she was given the greenlight that she can wash her body with it, which she slowly began doing afterwards, For this part, it was pretty easy since Tamamo knew how to scrub her skin when dirt gets sticky. Dealing with mud especially was the kind of problem she had to deal with and when it dried on her skin, she had to scrub to get it all off. As only difference now, she did it with soap instead and it felt oddly smooth against her skin. Not only did it scrub better but it also left her skin feel nice. Luckily for Hiro, she was washing where he could not see since she was shoulders underwater. Upon being offered to help, she turned her head to face him, mostly the eye she could look with. "No one ever helped me wash before... You can help if you wish. If you touch my tails, you play nicely with them. Don't pull on them...", she said before she turned her head to focus back on her body, moving gently to her arms as she were at now.

Hellhound did things by habit but mostly because she got used to be given different tasks left and right. Otherwise, she never really did any cooking at all so it probably was the only thing she would do this well, if according to Bella. At least she didn't feel like she did a perfect job herself but if Bella said so, it was probably good and the praise made her happy nonetheless. Her attention quickly moved on to the next task as she watched her partner for what to do next. Hellhound knew it wasn't going to be this easy so she tried to stay focused. The question that came up from Bella however didn't even sound dumb to the beast girl. In fact, because the countess had mentioned it, she now was curious about why it sounded so confusing. Her attention quickly turned toward the teacher as well. "Yeah, why does it sound so hard...? How are we supposed to do it like this...?", she asked after her, sounding as serious.

Tamamo simply nodded at first but then watched what he was doing. With the looks of it, it almost looked like he was preparing to reach underwater or help her clean up or something. Eyeing the bottle of shampoo and the mug, she just stayed there being her usual confused self. She didn't really evade him touching her but something gave her the feeling to just close her eyes, which she did a bit until she felt water pour over her, what caused her to close her eyes completely for a moment. "W-what's the big idea...?", she asked while pouting, her hair now dripping over her face and everywhere. As she was asked to hold out her hands, she did so slowly, opening her eyes again and watching him with only one eye open between her hair. The feeling on her hand wasn't quite nice at first but with the scent that came from it, she grew curious. Hiro did his tricks with the water itself and the process made her look around herself, always with her single eye. The scent was not only spreading but also mixing itself to her water. While it did not feel like anything, it was nice to look at and to smell. To actually swim, so to speak, in such nice water was a kind of gift. Tamamo could probably not do this kind of trick with a spring but in this completely controlled water, the rules were different. All this time, she had her hands out and had not moved them yet at all. When the trick was finally over with, she looked with amazement all of these bubbles she was dipping into. "This look good and it smells good, too... But... uhhh... Do I use this on my hands to clean all of my body? What should I do with it...?", she asked, probably not looking very bright right now.

Tamamo only kept observing him and wanting to wait his turn made perfect sense to her. She was taking a good part of the bath for herself anyway. Plus, she liked the comfort of feeling free and floaty in this tub all by herself, an advantage of having a small body at least until she grows up but she didn't worry about that yet. While she wasn't easy to see with her chest basically against the tub, she moved back to her sitting position, taking her time to enjoy the water some more. Understandably, she didn't use proper shampoo to clean herself since those weren't exactly available. Water alone mostly sufficed, at least for Tamamo who knew nothing more. Her head, ears and tails were clean by standards but not in their best states with the lack of proper care. For a monster, it looked fine but probably not for more civilized species. Looking curious at him handling those bottles, she gained a confused expression but still felt interested to know more about it. Obviously when he asked if she was familiar with any of it, she shook her head. Tamamo looked particularly interested when fur was mentioned. "Sooo... It's good for my tails? And my ears? I also have hair and skin... It's good for all, then? How do you use it? Do I rub it on myself? I have a lot to clean...", she said with a smirk, being self aware that washing herself wasn't the easiest task but she usually always did it alone, either by rubbing or scrubbing her body somehow underwater. Her cleaning by herself took a lot of time.
